Wilbur POV

I received a message from an unknown number.

*******

hey, my discord is acting up so Tom js gave me ur number, that work?

y/n?

oh yh sorry shouldve mentioned who i was

its alright. thought so when you said "tom"
no one else calls him that except occasionally phil

yeah, thought so

We made plans to meet up somewhere to at least pretend to be formal. I was smiling for most of the conversation, which made me worry. I cannot be interested in a girl I've spoken to for a collective 5 minutes or so. Good thing I'm not, I'm just happy she's finally gathered the balls to write music.

We were meeting up at a small cafe. It wasn't too far from my apartment, so I decided to just walk. I didn't put too much effort into my outfit today. I had no accessories except a necklace and my glasses over the multicoloured Lovejoy merch and plain black jeans. It was cold out so I had a trench coat on top of the sweater and a beanie on my head.

The walk only took about 5 minutes for me, so I knew I was gonna have to wait a bit. I had brought my laptop to write down lyrics and decided I could just edit a bit while waiting for Y/n. I entered the cafe, ordered a drink for myself and got to editing.

Y/n POV

"What should I wear?" I ask Tom and he groans. "You're literally pretending to go on a dat right now. Just wear a hoodie and jeans, it's not that important!" he says in an annoyed voice. "We said it should be like a meeting, but it's in a cafe. I'll just wear my to-go."

(you can change it if you want to, but i absolutely love this look except for the lack of rings and the ugly glasses and bag)

I got dressed, looked in the mirror and quickly put on simple eyeliner. I know he's probably already there, so I don't have time for a full hair an makeup transformation. "What do you think? Better than just a hoodie and jeans, I bet." I ask Tom as I enter his room.

"Y/n, you look great but can you piss off? I'm about to stream." Tom says and I just go away. Ouch, could've at least said great with more passion. I walk downstairs to see mum watching TV. I simply greet her and leave.

Upon exiting the house, I shiver a bit. It was way too cold outside not to wear a coat, but I didn't have any coats to go with this look so I just prayed that I would be alright. I had my earbuds in and just enjoyed the music while I walked.

When I approach the cafe, quite hastily make my way to the entrance. Warmth flies my way as I open the door. It smells like fresh pastries and coffee, which makes sense. I look around trying to spot Wilbur, but I can't. I then see that he's hunched over a laptop with his earbuds on and I make my way to him.

I'm walking to his table when I spot an extremely beautiful person sitting alone. I happen to be friends with said person, so I decide to stop by their table. "Hey,Val, is that you?" I say as I look at them seeing their face light up. "Y/N! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE BACK, OH MY GODDD!" Val said squeezing me in a tight hug.

"I'm actually here to meet someone so I can't chat, but here, have my number! I haven't talked to you in YEARS." I say as I write my number in Val's phone quickly and see the slight confusion on their face. I ignore it and head to Will's table. He's still hunched over his computer when I sit down across from him, so I knock on the desk.

He seems a bit startled as he looks up, but soon calms down when he sees it's me. He smiles and takes out his earbuds. "Hey, Y/n! You look great, nice to see you!" he says as he smiles at me. His smile is childish and I love it. It's like when a 7 year old boy's mum asks him to smile for a school photo.

"You too, Will. Didn't mean to startle you, by the way. You just seemed very invested in what you were doing." I say as I look over to Val, who seems to be looking at me with a "that your boyfriend?" look. I roll my eyes and look back to Will. "I saw you enter, but you had your back turned to me and your hair looks to be a different colour? I assumed it wasn't you."

"Oh, I didn't dye my hair, but it looks completely different in a well-lit space. Anyways, have you ordered yourself anything?" I ask. I didn't wanna write or do anything today, to be fair. I was exhausted from lack of sleep and everything going on. There wasn't much actually going on, but I still managed to overwhelm myself. Useless skill of mine.

"I got myself a coffee, yeah. They have amazing chocolate croissants here so when we head out I'll probably take some to-go as well. I highly recommend." Will says happily. I smile and get up to order myself something as well. To get to the till, I need to go by Val, who is violently smirking at me.

"He's a business partner and possible friend. nothing else, Val!" I say. Val laughs a bit as she gets up to go with me. "I don't know. He smiled as soon as he saw you, hun."
